Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup water

  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce

  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar

  • 1 teaspoon honey

  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh garlic

  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger

  • 1 pound jumbo shrimp

  • 1/2 fresh pineapple, cored and cut into 1 ½-inch pieces

  • skewers

  • 2 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro (Optional)

  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds (Optional)

Directions

  1. Combine water, soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, garlic, and ginger in a small saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until sauce has reduced and thickened slightly, 8 to 10 minutes.

  2. Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil grate. Thread shrimp and pineapple alternately onto skewers and place on a platter.

  3. Arrange skewers on the hot grate. Grill 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until shrimp is opaque and cooked through. Turn grill to low heat and brush sauce on both sides of skewers. Transfer to a serving platter and sprinkle with cilantro and sesame seeds.
